We\u2019ve all worked with someone \u201cdifficult,\u201d someone who could always be trusted to blow up to space out or do or say something wildly inappropriate. As it happens, those of us who concluded \u201cthe guy\u2019s just nuts\u201d were right: a fair number of those impossible-to-get-along-with employees actually do have full-fledged personality disorders. In Toxic Coworkers, the authors help us to recognize a variety of common personality traits and disorders, understand how they come about, and learn to develop effective strategies for dealing with them. So the next time the narcissist who runs the front desk is bugging you, or you need to squeeze a favor out of the schizoid who handles inventory, you\u2019ll know exactly what to do.
